Recordings of Two Recent Society for Scholarly Publishers (SSP) Webinars Now Available Online (Authentication/Privacy, and Metadata)

Each webinar runs about one hour.
1.  The Future of Access Authentication and Privacy
Recorded: May 9, 2017
Posted Online: July 11, 2017

Perhaps the most important lesson learned from Sci-Hub is that the current technology stack and access paradigm has proven itself to be insecure. Today, there are cooperative efforts from publishers, librarians, technology providers and other stakeholders, attempting to find solutions that will work for all parties. This webinar will look at those efforts, discuss the goals and focus on the careful balances that must be struck between identification and privacy.

2. Building a Common Infrastructure: The Challenge of Modern Metadata
Recorded: April 11, 2017
Posted Online: June 9, 2017

Metadata drives everything we do in the current ecosystem of scholarly publishing – but complying with new mandates and initiatives that go beyond the basics can be a challenge. How much should we ask from our authors? How can we work with vendors to collect and share the best metadata? What are our expectations of publishers? We’ll hear from a representative editor/author, vendor, and publisher, each providing their perspective about making metadata easier to collect and distribute, and the benefits of painting a complete picture with metadata.
